Nearly every resident of the city state carries a mobile phone (some carry two) and enjoys broadband internet access. Singapore also has a sizable chunk of voters who will vote for the first time on May 7, according to Citigroup, because they are just reaching voting age. Some are also voting for the first time because in previous elections, like the 2006 polls, far fewer seats were contested by the opposition. (In uncontested seats, the running party wins automatically.) <span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2069923,00.html">Full story</a></span>snahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13315060885522286533noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959000726132895528.post-19236701836129463532011-05-06T09:51:00.000-07:002011-05-06T09:54:18.763-07:00Nervous times for rulers as Singapore considers change<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQtxSdBAHe3acZNaH6Q286XkXgEgnDBNVfPkUaU-YlOzcsSc2R_ri0hYT8"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 131px; height: 99px;" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQtxSdBAHe3acZNaH6Q286XkXgEgnDBNVfPkUaU-YlOzcsSc2R_ri0hYT8" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Sydney Morning Herald, 7 May 2011</span><br />Today, 2.3 million Singaporeans will head to the polls for the 11th general election since independence in 1965. Unlike days past, the outcome of this election is shrouded in uncertainty.<br />The electoral threats to the ruling People's Action Party are embodied in voters' perceptions and grievances - including rising prices, hubris of the ruling party, million-dollar ministerial salaries, overpopulation and better treatment for foreigners - and credible opposition challenges. The opposition has capitalised on such sentiments and framed them as election issues to woo undecided voters. The ostensible calm hanging over the city state is perhaps a mask. There will be no illegal public forums and gatherings beyond designated venues. Street protests exist only on television screens. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/nervous-times-for-rulers-as-singapore-considers-change-20110506-1ecip.html">Full story</a></span>snahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13315060885522286533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959000726132895528.post-63669255759245371842011-05-06T09:46:00.000-07:002011-05-06T09:51:22.679-07:00Singapore Election: What To Watch For Tomorrow<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT3FFsNfJljHuF8RdvZy2q9riV9wkUUkGyzRTqOsyWn0nXhw8IvTLxZTJI"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 110px; height: 92px;" src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT3FFsNfJljHuF8RdvZy2q9riV9wkUUkGyzRTqOsyWn0nXhw8IvTLxZTJI" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bernama.com, 6 May 2011</span><br />SINGAPORE, May 6 (Bernama) -- Singapore electorates are set to cast their ballots Saturday in the republic's general election (GE).<br />Singapore has been under the People's Action Party (PAP) since 1959.

The on-line registration (before the Writ of Election was issued) was to facilitate those (Singaporeans) whose names are in the current Registers of Electors, who meet the qualifying criteria, and who are staying near one of the nine (9) designated overseas polling stations, to cast their votes when Singapore conducts its parliamentary or presidential elections. There is no other option to qualify oneself to be an overseas elector if the main criterion of 30 days' residency in Singapore during the last three (3) years (between 1 Jan 2008 and 31 Dec 2010) is not met. (Note: For an overseas Singaporean who does not have a Singapore residential address, his/her name would not be in the register of electors as the ELD would not be able to assign the constituency to him/her.) <span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://www.isria.com/pages/30_April_2011_3.php">Full story</a></span>snahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13315060885522286533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959000726132895528.post-78793697594889589182011-04-29T19:52:00.000-07:002011-04-29T19:55:41.767-07:00PAP banking on track record<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRbGlSR2d2PAd3OsWAnAnFUl--VqhwXfgjCo2aTAI5dKBmTFZ8FX8Z18g"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 106px; height: 66px;" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRbGlSR2d2PAd3OsWAnAnFUl--VqhwXfgjCo2aTAI5dKBmTFZ8FX8Z18g" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Malaysia Star, 30 Apr 2011</span><br />THE themes of this general election began emerging on Day 1 of the campaign, as the first rally speeches rang out in five housing estates across the island.<br />Thousands turned up on Thursday night to listen to what the contending parties had to offer.<br />The first rallies by the Workers' Party (WP) and the People's Action Party (PAP) took place just 1.5km apart, at fields in Hougang SMC and Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC, respectively. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/4/30/nation/8582404&amp;sec=nation">Full story</a></span>snahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13315060885522286533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959000726132895528.post-70944142264948774442011-04-29T08:38:00.000-07:002011-04-29T08:42:25.413-07:00Low Thia Khiang challenges the spell<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTcmr8pUrJxqyN8h4UiZ4NDA-Q762Wg4vDNIr_en2O7ZC5fRnCnaTYRNw"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 109px; height: 94px;" src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTcmr8pUrJxqyN8h4UiZ4NDA-Q762Wg4vDNIr_en2O7ZC5fRnCnaTYRNw" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sin Chew Jit Poh, 29 Apr 2011</span><br />Usinng a Chinese proverb, Singapore Workers' Party (WP) secretary-general Low Thia Khiang said during a press conference after a walkabout that began in Hougang and ended at the Aljunied Group Representation Constituency (GRC): "We know that there is a tiger in the mountain, and yet we are still moving towards it."<br />What does it mean by the GRC?<br />The GRC was first introduced by Singapore Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew during the 1988 election.
